Help with FrontEndFile Management(Uploads) options

Post by forest-guy »

CMSMS: 1.11.7
Uploads 1.16.11
PHP 5.5.3

I don't know if this is possible... but I have a category for newsletters. All the filenames start off with year.mo (i.e. 2004.01) to indicate the year and month it was published. What I would like to do is use a filter of some sort so that I could simply display in the summary listing just those files that begin with a certain year. I have tried using the filter="" option but nothing I enter seems to work - I get everything in the category. I have read the help and searched the forum for a little insight as to what sort of coding is being expected to no avail. Heck, I may not even be understanding what the filter is to be used for.

On the same vein - when I use the option: no_initial="1" - everything seems to blow up, returning: Error: at line 702 in file C:\xampp\htdocs\www.agmc.info\lib\smarty\sysplugins\smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php:

Any help of the format of the filter value - or baring that doesn't function they way I think it should - any ideas on how to accomplish my selection issue?

Thanks in advance.

There is no current way in the Uploads module to filter by filename via the tag.

Bummer.
Thanks CalGuy1000.

If you don't mind my asking - what is the filter= option used for, and how is it formated?

Looking again at FrontEndFile Management - I see I can create a field that I can populate for each file. If I created a field named "year" and populated it with the year of publication. Could I somehow use that as a filter for selecting a single years worth of publications?
